Research indicates that Black undergraduate students face unique needs and barriers within University Recreation programming. University Recreation professionals need to implement appropriate and suitable physical activity opportunities for students since increases in the number of Black students who attend four-year institutions continue to grow. Therefore, it becomes more important for University Recreation departments to initiate, increase, or sustain their physical activity participation. The purpose of this study was to examine disparities amongst Black and White undergraduate students' determinants for physical activity and develop recommendations for University Recreation programming efforts to reduce the gap in physical activity participation between the racial groups. One hundred thirty-six Black and White undergraduate students were surveyed at a mid-sized Southeastern University. A three-way ANOVA examined differences on the Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (EBBS) scores, sex assigned at birth, race, and physical activity guidelines being met. Furthermore, a descriptive report of the cues to action responses was created to display commonalities and differences between Black and White students. The findings showed the percentage of Black students who met physical activity guidelines for active adults was lower than White students, especially with female students. Black undergraduate students perceived exercise more positively than White undergraduate students, and both races perceived exercise more positively when they met the physical activity guidelines for active adults. Analysis of the findings provided recommendations of 'Longer Hours', 'More Workout Classes', 'More Marketing', and 'Other Exercise Opportunities' to University Recreation professionals to help initiate, increase, or sustain Black undergraduate students' physical activity participation. Further research should investigate other student groups and their participation in physical activity within University Recreation services.
